Stories for Shorty: A Collection of Recollections from the Jockey Club 1982-1988

Stories for Shorty: A Collection of Recollections from the Jockey Club 1982-1988 Edited by Betsy Young and Chuck Byrd

Twenty years after the demolition of the legendary Jockey Club, we thought a forum was overdue for the cast of characters who made up the JC freak show. YOU answered the call and Stories for Shorty: A Collection of Recollections from the Jockey Club 1982-88 was created.

Those of us who were there helped create this book to immortalizes the legendary Jockey Club of Newport, Kentucky as we remembered it in the 1980s. Everyone from SS-20's Jughead to Joey Shithead of D.O.A. to the Human Zoo himself, Bevo, contributed in not just conveying the importance of The Jockey Club to the Cincinnati, OH music scene but just how much it really meant to us. Thanks, Shorty!

Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to LINKS, (Lonely Instruments for Needy Kids), the Cincinnati-based charity that collects and refurbishes old instruments for kids who want to play an instrument and who could otherwise not be able to buy, rent or borrow one.

$15 | 5.5 x 8.5 | 255 pages | paperback | Pub Date: November 22, 2008

'Stories for Shorty' can be purchased on November 22 at Shake It Records and The Southgate House for $15 or by contacting us directly if you live in the Cincinnati area at 513.591.1635. Or you can purchase the book online for only $17 ppd here.
